Uh yeah. Good luck going to war with a semi-automatic rifle as your main weapon, idiot! But let's apply your crappy attitude of assuming you know what one needs. Nobody living in a city needs a personal motor vehicle. You have public transit options and there'd be fewer pedestrian deaths.More than 1K assault-style weapons now prohibited in Canada: PM Trudeau

Excellent!!! About time.
There is NO need for this type of weapon .........unless one is in the military.
Cool!!!Fu ck you.
Note it says assault style. NOT assault weapons. The decision is based on what some Moron thinks looks like Rambo would use it. Nothing at all to do with the actual workings.and from another source:
Trudeau announces ban on 1,500 types of 'assault-style' firearms — effective immediately

How do you get leftward government and think in the same sentence?Something that should never have been allowed.
The government should be ashamed of itself for accepting taxes for the sale of these stupid things.
WTF were they thinking?
That is because you understand wrong. So the rifle your grandfather brought back with him from WW2 is now illegal.As I understand it....the weapons banned are for military use ..Why should any civilian carry such a weapon?? Isn't their purpose to kill as many and as fast as possible?? NO civilian needs that kind of weapon. Does the civilian not have enough guns to choose from......if they have to have a gun??

When schools open back up will the children start the day with a hymn , God Save King Justine ?
Regardless........they should be banned . If some gun fanatics get bend out f shape.........Tough. Get over it.
Why.
Roughly half of urban Canadians support a full ban on gun ownership, a new poll by Ipsos suggests.
The survey, conducted exclusively for Global News, found that 52 per cent of Canadians polled, living in nine major centres, agree that all types of guns should be made illegal.
Though the polling only captured the views of Canadians in urban centres — not rural areas — it still revealed sharp disparities in opinion.
Toronto and Montreal had the highest levels of support for making any type of gun illegal, at 67 per cent and 57 per cent respectively.
The Prairies saw the least amount of support, at 48 per cent for Winnipeg, 37 per cent in Regina and 30 in Saskatoon. Calgary and Edmonton nearly tied at 34 and 33 per cent each.
Vancouver was nearly on the national average at 53 per cent, while Halifax stood at 42 per cent.
"What we've seen throughout the years in our polling on gun-control questions is that support is always higher in cities than it is in rural regions," he said.
"And so, yes, while the results may be higher as a result of what's happened in Nova Scotia, they could also be lower on a national basis when we factor in the opinions of rural Canadians." Click the link for full article
If you poll just assault style weapons like the AR-15 (ArmaLite rifle) the poll numbers aren't as wishy washy.
